JIM MURPHY - THE FIRST NEW JERSEY ARTIST INDUCTED
INTO OLD TIME COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME!
In recognition of his nearly 45-year involvement in the traditional country music realm, singer-songwriter Jim Murphy was inducted into âAmerica's Old Time Country Music Hall of Fameâ on August 28, 2007 in Missouri Valley, Iowa. Murphy is the first artist from New Jersey to be recognized by the NTCMA, which has been inducting deserving artists since 1976 in recognition of their impact and significant contributions to this traditional genre. Songwriting has been a hallmark of Murphyâs work. In 1998 he took home four awards from the Traditional Music Association including Album of the Year. His latest recording, Go New Jersey, is devoted entirely to people, places and events in his beloved home state, with âGarden State Waltzâ receiving wide airplay as a single.

"Run Molly Run" sings the praises of our own Molly Pitcher who achieved immortality by her heroic deeds at the Battle of Monmouth. Her real name will be a surprise, for sure.
